News & Sports:

With shorter consumer attention spans, news and sports applications need to be customized to each user. Yet, this content can be cached for short periods of time (e.g. a few seconds) to improve performance for end users.

Local/Weather:

Web applications here have a geographic focus in customizing content for users. Content can be cached for varying lengths of time, depending on type of content. For example, hourly weather updates can be cached for up to an hour, while urgent weather alerts may only be cached for a few seconds so users will always have the most up-to-date information possible.

Advertising:

Targeted ads are computed on-the-fly, and advertisers generally need minimal delay in serving ads. Amazon CloudFront can help meet the performance and personalization needs for such applications.

Social Media:

Applications here also have personalized and interactive content, integrating user profiles, preferences, friends, and activities. The result of these features is content that requires frequent trips to the servers, slowing performance. CloudFront’s network and path optimizations can help make the delivery of such content faster, helping social media applications perform better and giving the user a seamless experience.

There are, of course, many other dynamic applications that can benefit Dark Lake Software's Content Deliver Service, so contact us today for more information.
